From my experience test driving a PT Cruiser, I cannot imagine liking that car unless you have literally driven nothing else in your life, or you're being offered one for free and your current vehicle is somehow worse than a PT Cruiser That is the most gutless vehicle I have ever driven and it took everything in me to not bust up laughing at the sales guy who rode along with me and ask him "are you loving serious?"

I absolutely love the PT. It's a great car for the blue collar poors of the world. *sips cappuccino and laments the number of minorities moving into town **edit** Seriously though, as terrible as the interior was in those things, wasn't the turbo fairly spry? I seem to recall driving one once and thinking it was actually pretty potent. I didn't dig the looks, but a lot of people did, and that's completely subjective anyway. eyebeem fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Feb 19, 2015 |

I didn't dig the looks, but a lot of people did, and that's completely subjective anyway. There's two flavors of turbo PT's. There's a low boost one that's not any more fun than a regular PT and there's the PT GT which is a high boost 2.4L that's the same configuration (aside from some minor differences like intake manifold) and output as the SRT-4. A very good motor. It doesn't make the PT GT any less insufferable though.

nitrogen posted:Every time someone says "Rotella" my brain automatically parses it as this: I think that's just what Texas does to us. As far as Rotella goes, isn't there a penalty for using it in a gasoline engine in cold weather? I'm too lazy to have seasonal oil, but on the other hand I like saving money. My truck takes 5w30 and oil isn't expensive per se but I'm a cheapskate.

I was offered a 2006 High Output (230hp 2.4L turbo) PT Cruiser with less than 2500 miles on it for free last year. (I haven't owned a car for a few years) I turned it down. Driving it felt so awful I would almost rather drive a Smart.

And subsequent bonfire of the PT afterwards.

OTHO (and I'm not trying to pick on you if you think see a pattern here), get it, drive it to where-ever you want to go for a holiday, sell it and take a bus ride back with a BS story, flipping the car could pay for a holiday, or a one way trip to live elsewhere if that's what you prefer. Being a PT cruiser, I suggest florida.

I used to think they were kinda interesting looking cars until I ended up in a rental of one. It was like an nega-tardis. It was way SMALLER on the inside than you'd think by looking on the outside. It also drove worse than a 20 year old pickup truck I borrowed from my dad's company a year previous.

Best PT cruiser I ever saw belonged to some sick gently caress who cut out the floorpan and welded in a Toyota Soarer, complete with turbo lexus v8. You couldn't tell from the outside beyond the wheels and brakes.

That looks suspiciously like a dwarf car, so it probably has zero or near-zero actual PT parts on it.
